"You've been busy up till now." Zhang Xiao didn't like being suppressed, so she took the initiative to break the silence between the two, finding a topic to talk with Mu Chen.
Mu Chen responded indifferently, not saying a single extra word.
"Mu Ya doesn't have very deep feelings for you as a father. Have you thought about the reason?"
Mu Chen frowned, and tilted his head to look at Zhang Xiao. Mu Ya is still young, so when she becomes sensible, he will change." The father and daughter pair would have to rely on each other for their lives in the future. When Mu Ya became sensible, he would definitely like him the way he liked Zhang Xiao.
"It's not that she's young, but that you haven't been with her properly. Mr. Mou, I know you are very busy, but no matter how important your work is, it is not as important as a child. Since you treat Mu Ya as your life, then you should spend some time to accompany Mu Ya and cultivate your feelings for her father and daughter. If you don't accompany Mu Ya now, she will get further and further away from you." Even if they were father and daughter, they would become more and more unfamiliar with each other.
Just like her father.
"nanny is with her."
Zhang Xiao was a little angry. Speaking to this point, he actually still thought that it was enough for him to have nanny to accompany her daughter. nanny is different when it comes to accompanying parents."
"But I was too busy to take care of Mu Ya myself. If I had the time to take care of him myself, I wouldn't have come to you. My job is my mission, my responsibility, and I can't afford to lose it."
It was not that Mu Chen didn't want to accompany his daughter, but it was just that it was really difficult for him to squeeze out time.
Asking her to meet him, negotiating the terms with her, signing the agreement and then coming to the hospital to settle the score with her had already wasted too much of his precious time. This was all done for her daughter. He had wasted so much time on Zhang Xiao, he would have to work overtime after returning to the company, and only now would he be able to return home.
He was really busy, and he would feel very tired.
However, his daughter was not at ease and had been causing a ruckus for the past few days.
"In your eyes, work is the most important thing, Mu Ya is secondary."
Mu Chen turned his head and stared at Zhang Xiao, he did not like Zhang Xiao using such a tone to criticize him. Just like how he did not love Mu Ya at all, even though Mu Ya wanted her to be her mother and knew that she was Zhang Hao Tian's daughter, he still invited her to come back. If he did not value Mu Ya more than her life, he would not have tolerated her at all, and even more so, would not invite her back.
"Staring at me is useless, what I'm saying is the truth. You are such a father, don't think that giving your child a generous material life is loving your child. What the child needs is love, the real love of the parents."
"Zhang Xiao, that is not something you should care about! My problem has nothing to do with you! You just need to take care of Mu Ya and follow the agreement we signed." Mu Chen coldly refuted Zhang Xiao. Zhang Xiao's words were like a knife, stabbing him until he was bloody, letting him know that she had neglected her duty as a father. But he was unwilling to admit that he loved Mu Ya, loved him a lot.
As he leaned over, Mu Chen whispered into Zhang Xiao's ears again, "Remember not to fall in love with me!"
"Puchi!"
Zhang Xiao laughed, and said: "Mr. Mou, don't worry, I will definitely not fall in love with you. The reason why I said so much was because I really cared about Mu Ya. I hoped that Mu Ya would live a better life than me. Furthermore, you are always jealous that Mu Ya likes me and doesn't want to get close to you, your father. I will find a reason for you to come closer to Mu Ya so that you won't keep envious of me time and time again."
Mu Chen:...
He turned his head and looked out the window, no longer speaking to Zhang Xiao.
Seeing him like that, Zhang Xiao chuckled, then tactfully closed her mouth.
When he returned to the Mu Family, it was nearly two in the morning.
Mu Ya's hoarse cries disturbed the hearts of everyone in Mu Family Mansion.
As soon as Zhang Xiao got off the car, Zhao Zi Ru, who was waiting in the courtyard, quickly stuffed Mu Ya into Zhang Xiao's embrace and said a little angrily, "Zhang Xiao, Mu Chen requested that you accompany Mu Ya even at night, yet you... No one could sleep in the middle of the night. Look at Mu Ya's throat, which took so much effort to get better, is crying again."
Zhao Zi Ru knew that Zhang Xiao was going to the hospital to see her friends, and she also knew that Mu Chen had promised Zhang Xiao that he would be able to take care of her own matters at 4 o'clock every day. However, Mu Ya suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. The temper of the woman flared up, and she could not help but scold Zhang Xiao.
In her opinion, those who signed the agreement to get the money should do their job well.
Mu Chen had said that Zhang Xiao was not a servant in the Mu Family, but Zhao Zi Ru still subconsciously treated him as a servant.
Zhang Xiao busied herself with coaxing Mu Ya, and did not respond to her words.
"Mom and Dad, go back and sleep. When Mu Ya sees her, she won't cry anymore." Mu Chen walked over and gently advised his parents.
Zhao Zi Ru looked at her granddaughter who was crying, and sighed at the same time.
The weirdest thing that happened in the world happened to them, the Mu Family. She was obviously not Mu Ya's mother, but Mu Ya still recognized her as her mother. As long as she couldn't see Zhang Xiao, she would cry from the corner of her mouth, making him very annoyed.
Only after Mu Ya had coaxed them to a halt did Zhao Zi Ru and her wife return to the villa next door.
Zhang Xiao carried Mu Ya into the house, and under the guidance of the Aunt Lan, he carried Mu Ya upstairs.
When she returned to Mu Ya's children's room, she was already fast asleep on Zhang Xiao's shoulder. Zhang Xiao was furious, amused, and helpless. This Mu Family's darling was a sharpened spirit.
After placing the sleeping Mu Ya down on the bed, the little fellow's back pressed against the bed. It trembled slightly as if it was frightened, and Zhang Xiao immediately comforted her softly.
Mu Ya's small hands slowly loosened, no longer pulling on Zhang Xiao's clothes.
Under Zhang Xiao's gentle comforting, Mu Ya slept much more peacefully.
"Sleeping?"
Mu Chen asked in a low voice from behind.
Zhang Xiao acknowledged, "When I carried her upstairs, she was already asleep."
"He's probably tired of crying."
"Previously, when she was unable to sleep soundly and when she was unable to feel safe, it was easy for her to wake up." Zhang Xiao patted Mu Ya's body lightly without batting an eyelid, her gaze never leaving Mu Ya's face.
Having been toyed with by this child for the entire day, she did not get bored. Instead, she felt even more heartache.
Mu Chen thought about how he ordered the Aunt Lan to hug Mu Ya and let him leave during the day at the hotel. It was probably at that time that Mu Ya was frightened. In the child's tiny heart, Zhang Xiao was her mother. She was afraid that her mother was going to leave her.
His heart suddenly tightened.
Mu Ya's viscosity towards Zhang Xiao also shocked him.
Don't let Mu Ya be too attached to Zhang Xiao, if she knows that Tong Tong is her mother, Zhang Xiao is just a substitute!
Ning Zhi Yuan's warning repeatedly resounded in Mu Chen's ears.
Looking at Zhang Xiao who was comforting him, Mu Chen frowned.
He had to think carefully about how to separate Mu Ya from Zhang Xiao and prevent him from sticking too close to him.
